Thank you for playing!
We plan on expanding the game with lots of new and harder levels, and adding a way of playing community levels will allow for anyone to create their own levels with their preferred level of difficulty, I hope you check out the eventual final version!

Thank you! We would like to teach the layers more clearly, focusing on the fact that each color represents one layer, and we will try to fix issues with the player if we find them!

The concept is pretty interesting, the fish are cute and the map has some intriguing chests to find and that encourage somewhat exploration, I liked the idea.

I have to point out that the performance wasn't great and my pc is kinda decent so I guess it needs some optimization, and the controls sometime would kinda glitchout and ignore my input.

Overall a pretty cool submission, good job!

Thank you! We really appreciate it!

Hey there! Thank you for the detailed review!

We'll consider adding an option for moving the camera when pressing shift (Officially called peeking in code) to analyze the situation.

The "Double jump" was kind of an intended glitch, we noticed it pretty early in development but even though it was really easy to fix (Had to delete one line where the jumping state was resetting after letting go the jump button) we just let it there because it was fun for speedruns lol. We did fix it for an upcoming post-jam update we want to release very soon because it kinda breaks some puzzles in ways we didn't end up liking.

And about the other bug, I don't even know how you managed to find that, we never noticed it lol. But we changed how changing the layers works and apparently it got fixed.

Thank you again for the bug hunting and kind words!

Thank you so much! We'll check out the video as soon as we can!

Very cool turn-based RPG!

I think that having other abilities would've been nice, like a small heal or buffs and debuffs that enemies could use as well. This would ramp up the challenge and strategy a little bit more.

Also as some other commenters pointed out the pixelart looks blurry because of the filters applied to the image, you should check the filters so that it uses the correct point filter.

Very impressive for a week long gamejam!

I loved that the game rewards exploration and curiosity by adding treasures in spots outside of the intended route, and the final boss was impressive and pretty terrifying for what a 2D game with cute sprites can be. Good job!

The graphics and models are pretty nice, The animations and feedback could use a little work and the balance of the classes is kinda off because the archer is super OP and the warrior was basically useless, some other movement options would've been nice too.

Good job overall a fun game, nice!

I'm usually not a fan of text based games but the idea here is pretty interesting.

I would've loved a little more interaction, maybe some sound effects or a different way of setting up the lies and analysis in such a way that they become necessary to progress, like pointing out a lie and then using it in different dialogues as a point to get more evidence.

Also, requiring some kind of evidence before giving an answer could prove more interesting than just having it available all the time, because then you can just try every possibility without any kind of real repercussion.

Cool game with simple but comprehensible gameplay!

The music is really nice and the gameplay loop can be exploited and expanded further by just adding some new elements such as different kinds of enemies, different power ups, some collectibles and some kind of ship upgrade system.

Good job!

Cool artstyle and concept, the combat is a little bit lacking because you can't really dodge or aim your gun so its a matter of shooting first and fast without a lot of strategy, but overall a fun experience.

Haha thank you! I'd say it counts as a 2.5D game, the best of both worlds.

Cute art, sound music and gameplay. The upgrades work nicely to help achieve the final goal without being annoying to get. Would've loved to have more valuable collectibles the further down you get but for a 1 week gamejam it was a very cool submission, good job!

The concept is interesting but the start is kind of confusing.

The controls feel weird, floaty and bouncy, but I understand it's probably to give that space vibe.

Overall a fun game, good job!

I am a simple being, I see a racoon and I play the game.

Very nice puzzles, I loved the concept of using the props as bridges, but sometimes the colliders would get a little funky and wouldn't like being in their spots.

The theme could've been implemented in a different way but overall it was a pretty fun game, good job!

The atmosphere is really cool and the controls feel nice and responsive, the idea is interesting but I feel like the gameplay gets a little slow, so maybe adding some movement options or faster movement in general could help with that.

Thank you!

I have to admit that some stars are really difficult, and some of them involve more platforming and execution than puzzles, we should probably balance them out a little bit more or perhaps add an optional hint system

Thank you! We really appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed our game!

Thank you for the feedback! 

Yeah, we are trying to think a way to implement a visual indication for the current layer, most solutions come with drawbacks that are hard to solve, for example, if we change the color of the player it could be harder to know exactly where you are in general, because it could be confused with the background or level geometry colors.

Some other Ideas we had include changing the outline or adding a UI indicator of the current layer, like a colored arrow on top of the player's head.

The graphics, concept and gameplay are amazing, but the game is so long that it robbed a lot from the experience, making it artificially harder because of the limited resources. 

I love the FNAF vibes of the sit and survive gameplay and the art style used for everything, I see a lot of potential here

Really nice idea, chaotic and fun gameplay with beautiful art and music.

Would've loved some kind of upgrade system to help with the late game and maybe some kind of extra collectible you could get using the harpoon that could be used for those upgrades.

Nice game!

I somehow feel personally involved in this game, one of the most personal experiences I've had in a gamejam game, very interesting storytelling and message, even though the gameplay is very simple it helps as if going through therapy, impressive work!

I feel like I have to change my entire life now

Nice!

Cool artstyle and idea, the controls feel nice and the sounds are immersive.

I think that having more stuff to do would make the idea a little bit more interesting, to have some sort of sit and survive vibe while you try to get deeper.

The concept would be great as a base for a horror game.

Insanely well polished game for a gamejam, the mechanics felt really nice and the concept is similar to limbo or inside, very cool game, I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

Pretty cool concept and very nice art. I would've loved to be able to use the harpoon as some sort of grappling hook and have some more interesting combat options and movement variety.

Good job anyways!

The level design can get a little bit annoying and frustrating very fast because the controls do not feel very responsive, the player slides a lot and the air control is a little bit too much to feel correct.

But the art, concept and ideas are really nice, good job.

Impressive work! One of the most terrifying jumpscares and sound effects I've seen, the ambiance is really nice and the graphics are original and immersive.

The gameplay is a little bit lacking, but I can see a lot of potential here, good work!

The grappling hook feels very nice but something about the base physics of the player movement feels off, can't really point to to what.

I can see the potential of a platformer with these mechanics, not just going down.

The level design is kind of frustrating because there is not a lot of room for experimentation and having fun with the grappling hook, would've loved having some more space and thought put into the level design.

Good job!

The art is beautiful and the ambiance is really cool but I didn't really understand anything other than that, the gameplay is a little confusing and I didn't get what I had to do other than just keep my mouse in the center to avoid death.

The art, dynamic music, story, characters and design were amazing, some of the best I've ever seen in a gamejam! There were some item duplication glitches when you interact with some things multiple times but other than that and some moments where I wasn't very sure what the game wanted me to do I had great time, well done!

Thanks for playing! (Even though there are 3 layers in most of the levels haha)

Thank you! We really tried to get an "out of the box" interpretation of the theme this time around!

Thank you! :)

Nice! Glad you enjoyed our game!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice and simple gameplay, I even manage to get "hole in one" for every level after a couple of attempts, fun game!

No problem, gamejams are very hard, don't giving up and trying again is the key to success!

Interesting concept, but the gameplay wasn't very engaging and I didn't really had much choice on what to do other than wait or try to gamble and mostly lose all the time. I guess that's a realistic depiction of gambling in general but it wasn't that fun as a game lol.

The art, music and sounds as well as the theme of using a computer were amazing though, pretty neat and interesting.
